IMPORTANT: Please upgrade to LibFredo6 v7.7c or higher if you run Sketchup on a High-Resolution or Retina screen. LibFredo6 7.7c provides some support for hi-res screens, at least for Sketchup 2016 and 2017.Note also that v7.7c is required to run Animator 1.7c

LibFredo6 is a shared plugin library used by most of my plugins. LibFredo6 takes care, among others, of enriching my plugins with a few capabilities such as default parameters, language translation, Check Plugins for Update, Trace logging, etc.

It is NOT a standalone plugin. It must be installed once and updated as needed when new versions are published.

First of all many thanks for all your wonderfull plugins. You have brought SU to a new, unprecedented, level.Of course I follow the topics on your plugins and try to be as updated as possible, because your plugins already make part of my daily/standard SU tools.You have just released a new version of Freescale (v2.0e) and following your advise I also downloaded the newLibFredo6 (v3.1e). For the first time, this release contains a new folder called DEFPARAM_Dir, containing 1 (text)item. But...this file is already in my plugins folder as part of the Cadspan plugin (to prepare SU models for 3D printing).As usual it is impossible to have 2 files with identical names in one folder........So here's my question: can I replace the cadspan-DEFPARAM_Dir with yours, without getting into troubles with Cadspan or not? Can both plugins use that same folder without problems??I have put 'on hold' the update of your plugins upon further info from you, so please fill me in.

The small text file have no specific use for the script. It is there in the archive to force the creation of DEFPARAM_Dir via Unzip if not already existing.

I incorporated the DEFPARAM_Dir folder (empty with just one small file) in order to be sure this folder is created at installation.

LibFredo6 would normally create it on the fly whenever you deal with Default Parameters, but it seems that in some environments (Mac in particular) and depending on security rules, the creation of the folder from a Ruby script may not be authorized.

When you unzip, and already have a folder DEFPARAM_Dir, it is neutral. Whether you answer Yes or No to the 'Replacement' question from Unzip (or Copy), your existing folder will continue existing, as well as its content.

Fredo

PS: In general, I recommend that you always do a Yes All replacement when unzipping, so that you don't have to worry about what has changed. Also, keep in mind that file names in a ZIP archive go along the folder hierarchy (so it is not unusual to have several files with the same name in a Zip file, but associated with different folders)

For the first time, this release contains a new folder called DEFPARAM_Dir, containing 1 (text)item. But...this file is already in my plugins folder as part of the Cadspan plugin (to prepare SU models for 3D printing).

Ton,

My previous post was general about the installation.

In your specific case of Cadspan, are you sure the DEFPARAM_Dir folder belongs to this script. Could you tell me what it contains?

I don´t know if your HoverSelect will be extended to select faces, groups, dimensions... but the idea is to have only one button on the toolbar and with a key you can see and select all the other options with the onscreen menu:
